A sustainable finance system and sustainable capital market are key levers to make our economic system fit for the future. Socio-environmental transformation requires immense financial resources for the necessary investments. This will require public money and, above all, private funds. Green bonds are an effective tool to make the relevant resources available. I am pleased that we can advance the green bond market with the help of KfW and contribute to establishing ambitious market standards. The BMUV will continue its active involvement in the green bond market in the future.
